YMMV / Person of Interest S01 E08

• Magnificent Bastard: Ulrich Kohl was a ruthless Stasi operative before being betrayed by his teammates and imprisoned for 24 years. Escaping after his captors believed he'd grown too old and weak to be dangerous, Kohl set out to take revenge on his former comrades, blaming them for the apparent death of his wife. Using his formidable knowledge of spycraft, chemistry, and biology, Kohl methodically hunts his targets while evading pursuit, killing all but one of them. Learning of his wife's survival, Kohl seeks her out, easily subduing Reese when he interferes, and engaging in a calm discussion with Reese while torturing him. Eventually confronting his wife and hitherto unknown daughter, Kohl accepts the toll his past had taken on him, coercing Reese into shooting him and dying content that the best part of him survives in his wife and child.
